Family Members of AsyleesThe USCIS asylum program accepts newForm I-589applications from derivative asylees (spouses or children of a principal asylee) who no longer meet the definition of a spouse or child of the principal asylee in order to provide such individuals with a way to become a permanent resident. For more information, see the USCIS'Humanitarianpage. Note: In certain cases, the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA) may allow you to retain the classification of “child” even if you have reached age 21. To determine if the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA) applies to you, see ourChild Status Protection Actpage.

Family Application ProcessYou must prepare a separateForm I-485application packet for yourself (the principal asylee) and for your spouse and each child who received derivative asylee status if they also want to obtain a green card. You may submit several different application packages in the same mailing package. To hold each application packet together, please use a single staple or a paper clip.
